Abstract

A network resource system includes a first server which can communicate with a client computer. The first server produces a speech signal representing speech from a user at the client computer, and context information which indicates the semantic context of the user's speech and a predefined format in which data are returned to the first server. A network knowledge server is in communication with and separated from the first server. The network knowledge server returns to the first server a text structure having one or more fields corresponding to the predefined format. The first server uses data from the one or more fields to determine a response to the user's speech.
